ROYAL HK AUXILIARY POLICE PRAISED

* * *

MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL HONG KONG AUXILIARY POLICE FORCE PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN ASSISTING THEIR REGULAR COUNTERPARTS IN THE UPKEEP OF LAW AND ORDER OF THE COMMUNITY AND IN MANY OTHER ASPECTS OF POLICE DUTIES.

THIS WAS STATED BY THE SENIOR MEMBER OF THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL, BARONESS DUNN, WHEN SHE TOOK THE SALUTE AT A PASSING OUT PARADE OF THE MONG KOK DISTRICT AUXILIARY POLICE AT THE AUXILIARY POLICE HEADQUARTERS YESTERDAY (FRIDAY) EVENING.

"I UNDERSTAND THAT, IN YOUR CASE, THESE RANGE FROM BEAT AND HIGH RISK PATROL TO DUTIES IN CAMPS FOR VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE," BARONESS DUNN TOLD THE OFFICERS ON PARADE.

NOTING THAT THE POLICE FORCE HAD A REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE FINEST IN THE WORLD, BARONESS DUNN PRAISED THE OFFICERS FOR CONTRIBUTING IN NO SMALL PART TO THIS THROUGH THEIR HIGH STANDARD OF PROFESSIONALISM AND DEDICATION.

SHE POINTED OUT THAT RECENT CHANGES AND DEVELOPMENTS KONG HAD OFFERED MORE CHALLENGES TO ALL PUBLIC SERVANTS.

IN HONG

SHE SAID: "HONG KONG HAS ENTERED A NEW ERA. WE HAVE FOR THE FIRST TIME A LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL THAT HAS A MAJORITY OF ITS MEMBERS RETURNED THROUGH ELECTION.

"JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO, WE HAVE PASSED INTO LAW A BILL OF RIGHTS ORDINANCE THAT ENSURES THAT OUR CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS ARE PROTECTED," SHE SAID, ADDING THAT "HONG KONG HAD ALSO A POPULATION OF INCREASED EDUCATION AND HIGHER EXPECTATIONS.

"I TRUST THE REGULAR TRAINING YOU RECEIVE FROM THE FORCE, LIKE THE RESIDENTIAL CAMP WHICH YOU HAVE JUST COMPLETED, WILL HELP EQUIP YOU ON THE CHANGES AND NEW DEMANDS YOU FACE IN YOUR DUTIES, AND BY BUILDING ON YOUR EXPERIENCE AND CONFIDENCE, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RISE TO THE CHALLENGES WELL,

** BARONESS DUNN ADDED.

ON PARADE YESTERDAY WERE SOME 200 AUXILIARY POLICE OFFICERS WHO HAD JUST COMPLETED THEIR ONE-WEEK ANNUAL TRAINING.
